shebang

shebang is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from New-Kringster/shebang-mcp. It costs 175 tokens per session (2,828 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A service that lets an agent host web pages, share files, create short links, run a PostgreSQL database, and manage API keys or OAuth clients through one account.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent needs to publish a page, give someone a file link, create a short URL, operate a PostgreSQL database, or manage its own service credentials.
Why use it?
It removes the need to set up separate services and accounts for these common delivery, storage, database, and identity tasks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

shebang scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

shebang

shebang is one account, one API key, and one MCP server covering five things an agent commonly needs while working: hosting pages, sharing files, minting short links, running a Postgres database, and managing its own identity (API keys, OAuth clients). All of it is reachable through the shebang-mcp server's tools — no separate accounts, no separate SDKs.

Full docs, for anything this file doesn't cover in enough depth, are at https://docs.shebang.pro — including an agent-oriented index at https://docs.shebang.pro/llms.txt, and every page there fetchable as plain Markdown at <page-url>.md instead of rendered HTML.

Login-if-401

Every tool call in this server needs an shb_… API key. If a tool call fails with something like "missing API key" or 401/invalid_api_key, run:

npx -y shebang-mcp login

This starts a device-login flow: it prints a code and a URL, tries to open a browser, and polls until a human approves it there. On approval it writes ~/.config/shebang/credentials.json (mode 0600) and every future tool call in this server (or any other harness pointed at the same machine) picks the key up automatically — log in once, not per-project. If a browser isn't available on this machine, open the printed URL from any other device and approve there; the CLI keeps polling either way.

Projects

A Project groups a key's resources — keys, databases, files, links, and pages — for dashboard organization and access control; it's unrelated to the apps/project scope list on a key (page/serve/link/base, see below). Every key has exactly one home Project, which it always reaches in full. A master key can name any of the account's other Projects (via a project argument, a slug); an app key can only reach a Project it's been explicitly granted (read or full, via project_grant_key) beyond its own home Project. Naming a Project the key can't reach fails as insufficient_scope, never a not-found error. Most agents never need to think about Projects at all — every tool defaults to the key's own home Project when the optional project argument is omitted. Each call is scoped independently: passing project on one call doesn't change what a later call defaults to. Publishing a page with project: "acme" and then calling link_list with no project still returns your home Project's links, not acme's — pass project: "acme" again on that call too.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
